Christian:
In the Greek Orthodox church it is customary for new born babies, that’s me, to go with their mothers for their first visit to the church forty days after their birth. Mum, Dad, me and Charles, plus Grandma and Grandpa went off to see Father Joel today.

Father Joel first said some prayers for me at the door

And then he took me and Mum up into the Sanctuary of the church, for a special blessing to welcome her back to the church and to give thanks for my safe arrival.

Naturally Charles didn’t want to miss out on the praying, so him and Dad had their own prayers outside! I think Dad was praying that Charles would sit still for just a minute
